I think it's a testament to the amzing consistency of the show that so many episodes could qualify as best episode ever.

As tremendous as these final four episodes are, I don't think they are necessarily head and shoulders above the rest. In my book there are easily 20-30 other episodes that are on par with any of the best.

This is indeed true. We could conceivably do another sweet sixteen with 16 completely different episodes and the competition would remain as strong as it has been with these.
